I'm thrilled to share our work from @weissmanlab.bsky.social (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...). We developed LOCL-TL, an optogenetic approach for monitoring localized translation in mammalian cells. LOCL-TL revealed two distinct strategies for mitochondrially localized translation.

SLC25A38 is required for mitochondrial pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) accumulation
Nature Communications - Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP, vitamin B6) is crucial for various metabolic processes. Here, the authors identified SLC25A38 as a key regulator of mitochondrial PLP...

How proximal is proximity labeling❓ Using DNA nanorulers we found that TurboID/BioID are largely contact labeling, while APEX2 also bears a major contact labeling pathway in parallel with diffusive labeling.
